The Puritan and Volunteer had estimated
their distance with wonderful precision and
crossed the line within few seconds of each
other, under full sail and headway ON the
port tack, the Puritan keeping. to windward.
At T:20 o'clock the Electra steamed after
the fleet in u hurry. AT that time the lead
ers were hull down on the horizon. The
Puritan and Volunteer were apparently
neck and neck and making wonderful time.
Cheers from the steamers and yachts rang
out as the two leaders passed close
under the lee of the Electra and within
100 feet of each other. The start was a
beautiful one. By 8 O'Clock every sail had
disappeared beneath the horizon under
strong breeze, which held steadily and gave
no sign of giving cut. About five miles
from shore the Volunteer went ahead of the
Puritan il fine style, and closed upon the
Sachem, which had come down with the
tide, and was leading the feet"

Hospitslities of Philadelphia Club.

Quoted with the utmost decorum and re-
serve until he was called upon to respond
to q toast Scarcely had he mentioned
how happy he was to be among them
when the whole company started in Justify

of enthusiasm, the treasurer proceeded
with his speech, only to be interrupted by
O stentorian voice giving out the notes of
zone Bright River and that Bright River
is Jordan, in which all tongues vocifer-
ously joined. AT this stage of the proceed
ings the guest began to comprehend the
programme, and modified his remarks so
as to admit of graceful finish But the
watchful chorus leader OWNED his pur-
pose and rang out the keynote of "Rdn,

I was chatting the other day with the
vice president Of one of the trunk lines
of railway, when u messenger entered
with itn important contract, having 81
years to run. 1t was u traffic agreement
with u competing line, and was very
valuable document 1t happened to be
written with typewriter i'll anilinc ink.
Upon seeing this he positively refused to
SIGN the paper. He then took the contract
to the president of the road and said:
''Air. -, If you want to sign this con-
tract, You can do it, but never will"
When asked why, he replied: 1T is writ
ten in anlinc ink, which fades and long
before tho expiration of this contract this
document will be entirely faded and prac-
tically worthless. The result WIS the
return of the contract, with o request that
hereafter all important documents, the
preservation of which is desirable should
be written in ink that would not fade.
During Gen. Grants term rs president
one of his cabinet officers discovered that
the records OF an important branch of one
of the departments had been for two
years written in purple ink. He at once
issued an order forbidding it's use in the
department, purchased new set Of books
into which two years records were copied,
and thus saved what in few years would
otherwise have been lost. 1t is one of the
problems of chemistry to find something
which will make permanent the beautiful
anilinc colors, but thus far all efforts have
failed. 1t is growing more and more the
custom to have deeds, contracts and yalu-
able documents printed On a typewriter in
aniline ink This is great mistake,
because in few years they are sure to be
obliteratcd. The Lounger suggests, there
fore, that merchants have all important
papers which it is desirable to keep for q
number of years written in ink which, in
stead of fading with age. will grow darker
and more permanent. There are q num-
Der of American and foreign inks which
are unexceptionable in that PARTICULAR

Don't Crowd Your Boy.

One more letter is all that ofir room
will allow. 1t is short and to the point.
''UnCle Silas," he signs himself, and this
is what he says:
MY boys are all out in the world and
doing well, thank God but l sympathize
with the anXieties of fathers who have
yet to see how their boys will pan out.
My plan always was to encourage the
boys in all possible ways. Remember that
all boys are not equally smart. Don't eX
pect too much. Don't crowd your boy.
Above all don't be forever comparing him
unfavorably with some other boy, your
neighbours son. That sort of thing breaks
boys spirit, destroys his pride and he
may lose all ambition. Protect him; build
him up ON his weak spots; let him feel
that you are back of him; that, while you
expect him to plunge in and swim for
himself, still you have got long pole
that you will reach out to him i'll case he
needs it. Don't hurry him if he is n little
bit slower than some other boys. Preco-
cious boys are not always nor often the
most successful men when they come to
the mature stage of life. Don't let your
boy get the idea that money is the sole
end and aim of existence. Bat teach him
thrift, and, by adding something to his
savings bank account, say S. to every $50
he saves himself, teach him from tffers
to realize the value Of u dollar laid by for
the rainy day, w. Clarke in

Drunk on the Stage.

NEW YORK, May 16-Lester Wallack's
company appeared in 1.-THE School for Scan
dial" Friday evening at the Park theatre
Brooklyn. John Gilbert was Sir Peter
Teazle, and the audience was enjoying itself
very much, when its attention was particu-
larly attracted to Mr.. Daniel Lesson, who
had assumed the character of Rowley Mr.
Lessons condition was not exactly compati-
BILE with perfect rendition of the part, and
his mellowness seemed to increase with every
utterance. The second act opened up with a
rather dubious outlook for Rowley getting
through the play that evening, and Gilbert
advancing to the footlights begged permission
of the audience to substitute q reader for that
sdisgraceful person." The audience an
swered with a cheer, and w. Fl. Pope read
the lines of Rowley and also appeared in his
own part that of Mr. Shake

cyan MISUNDERSTANDING Notes.
LONDON, May ia dispatch received
from Cairo Friday evening gives graphic
picture OF the state of CONSERVATION into
which the European residents of lower Egypt
have been thrown by the announcement that
Sir Henry Drummond has concluded con-
vention with the sultan of Turkey settling the
question of British occupation of Egypt. The
terms of the agreement are, of course, not
known, but deep-seated feeling pervades the
commercial centers of Egypt that they in
volve the absolute evacuation of
that country by English troops, and
the unconditional surrender of Egypt
into the hands of the sultan's vassal, the khe-
dive. To the resident of Egypt during the
last ten years the inevitable result of British
withdrawal and the consequent resumption of
the old system-or lack of System-in the
conduct of Egyptian affairs presents itself in
the shape of military revolt, a general ex-
oduS of Europeans and the financial ruin of
everybody having anything to lose The
actual terms of the new agreement are
awaited with great anxiety, but the general
opinion is that any change from the present
state of things must result diSaStrously to
European residents and investors

CHICAGO'S BIG LOCKOUT.

Bosses and Men Determined to Fight to

Strike of Philadelphia Carpet Viewers
Trouble at Michigan City, Ind.
CHICAGO, May 16-The great building
trades lockout went into partial operation
Saturday morning. Nearly all thesbrieklayers
and a large portion of the carpenters find
themselves out of employment. The Master
Masons association has secured the support of
a majority of the material men, architects,
and real estate brokers' Some material men
in each line still hold out, and bricks, lime,
and lumber will be procurable by such con-
tractors as decide to keep ct work. All the
buildings in charge of members of the asso-
citation have been put in condition to stand
long siege. Meetings were held Saturday
morning by the Builders and Traders ex-
change and by the Bricklayers' union. 1t is
expected the bricklayers will respond to the
lockout tactics by ordering all their men to go
on strike until recognition of the union
Saturday payday, and other demands are
conceded to, or until the differences are set
tied by arbitration
Over 800 members of the Builders aud
dolsed the action of the Master Masons' as
ISOLATION in declaring lockout in the build
ing trades, The meeting was harmonious,
enthusiastic, aud confident of being able to
break down the power of the trades unions.
George c. PruSsing said: THE arbitrary
dictation of labor organizations, i'll interior
ing with the successful management of bust
ness had reached that point where single
drop would overflow the bucket. That drop
has been given i'll the Inauguration of the

other foolish childish action that has charac
terized your arbitrary demands you will do
10 work for US. " Resolutions of decisive
character We're adopted, agreeing to stand to-
gether, and fight to the bitter end.
The bricklayerS, at their meeting, resolved
that they- would not return to work upon any
other terms than payday on Saturday, which
was what they struck for.

a0d by this bold stroke crush the rebel
army and end the rebellion. The order
was accompanied by friendly note, in
which the great patriot said to Meade:
